      Ebxest Jokes . U . S . T . —Yes , unless burthencdwith a heavy family . _AncroBALDtaGuxos , Howorth . —The magistrates hare itin their power to remit either the whole or a portion of parochial rates , where they are of opinion that the parties are not ef sufficient ability to pay . Apply to the magistrates . J . W . _' D ., Dewsbury . —1 st , yes , you can impound them and _kiep them in the pound till replevied or damages paii _' . Bnt you appe r to have lost this remed y . My own opinion , with all due deference to the judge , is , that your remedy is against the owners of tbe cattle , as it wss his duty to Ime taken cara of them , unless they escaped through the default of a neightc-ur . Chas . Fox . —Not havin _? time for personal interviews , be good enongh to state your friend ' s case in writing , and if yoa have any original documents send copies of

      them . Thos . Philips , Manchester . —Give me tlie name and address of tie lawyer who has the _pedigree , aad I vdU write to him abont it . _Jxo . _WniTEHEiD , J " ewton _more _. Hyde . —I have written to _MrBarrow _. and trust I . e . will pay proper attention to my letter . If yon have stated your case correctly , it is quite certain there is m _necessity _whatever , for your taking oat letters of administration either to W . Daniel or any otfcer person . Ifs . Whitehead , Upton-on-Severn . —Messrs Bird and Holland have not answered my letter . Ask tliem if they received it . and let me _knotr . "Wm . _CaJ-vct . —The property _devised by Richard Calvert to his kinsman , John Calvert , was clearly devised to John * in fee ;* John Calvert , cmsequently had the power to dispose of the property as he pleased and to

      whom he pleased , but whether he gave the fee to Jackson is impoSfible for me to say without seeing his ( John Calvert ' s ) will or a correct copy of it iKO . Jacksox , Oldham . —Tour salary for the year 1840 is barred by the Statute of liniitat on _^; but I think yon may sue Mr Stump in the Small Debts'Court for vour salary for theyears 1 S « and lSli ; W . Bon-land ' for 1814 , and Mr Lees for yonr salary for 1 S _15 . I suppose yon _continued y : nr services _throughout the above period ; and were not given to understwd that you were not to expect an v salary by reason ofthe alleged * non-existence of funds . " Should the defendants setup the plea of ' no funds , ' they wfll hare to prove their plea ; and if you can prove the contrary yon may do so . So far as I can judge of your case , it appears to me that the minister , churchwarden , and parishioners ought all to beashamed of themselves , to allow a poor mau

      ( as yon say yon are ) to perform sennses for them for severalyears without giving him the smallest remuneration for his services . _Gzibge JIaskell , u . ar Bradford , Yorkshire . —I have a strong impression on my mind that I wrote to you some months ago , and that my letter was returned by the Post-office , marked * no such persoa known near Bradford . ' The will yon sent me , if I recollect right , was mads more than 100 years ago , and the testator left all his property to charitable purposes . Your former letter left mequite in the da _> k as to thc nature of yon . - claim , and the grounds on which you rested it ; upon _tVse points yon must furnish me witli fall information . David Ishau . —I believe I received the wi 1 of D-niel lung , and hope to be able before long to attend to Jf onr case , Thomas _Tabebses , Miner . —Yon had best write to'the

      Secretary at War , ' LonJon ; and ho may , possibly , be able to give you the information you wishior respecting your sister , Nancy Heaton ; and yet , as you do not recollect the same other former hu « biud , 'who was killed at Waterloo' th-. chances avc against your getting any information about her fromthe Secretary at War . James Johsso . v , Manchester . —As the se-. rch forC . Clay ' s trill may extend through several years , tlie fee will be . 10 s ; but ti search for flie wilt ofa person who it wonld appear has been dead near 1 U 0 years , would most likely Tbe attended with no beneficial result H . S ., D . B . —As you appear to have a friend in the gentlemen yon speak of in your late letter , I will , with your approbation , write to him respecting your cate . J . F . —The mother of the child must apply to the magistrates to cau « e the reputed father to restore her

      child to her ; and ehe had best app ' y to the _simc professional gentleman she before employed , and he ttill get the order ofthe Court of Quarter Sessions enforced against tie father . WiiiiAM Paeke ( or Paeeer ) , Redditch . —You do not say whether the parties who claim the property of Matthew Wilkinson , claim it under his will , or as Uti coheirs at law ; neither do you say when he died . John' Paget , Bingley . —I am of opinion that Moses and Sarah Smith , took as tenants in common in tail , with cross _remainders , in tail between them ; and Sarah having died without issue , and without having barred the entail in her moiety ( at least . I presume , she did not bar it ) , her brother _Mo-es became entitled to the entirety as t- nact in tail , and he being _dea-i , and without , I presume , having barred the entail , his eldest son , Robert , is now tenant in tail of the who _' e property . The will is but unskilfully drawn , but I think the above opinion is agreeable to the sonnd constitution of it .

      "Vhkn forth e Mmo * . " ¦ nJ _« _M U 8 ™ 7 sincere gratification to observe the rapid progress which this laudable and praiseworthy institution is making for ameliorating the condition ofthe wtrking classes , and placing them in their true position in _seoiety . ¦ _« ut ail the efforts and _Btrtiggles of those who sn ably conduct . ts affairs , will be unavailing unless taey are assisted by the hearty and undivided oo-S- _1- of T e trades ' vnce it is by a katiosai , combination alone , that a fair remuneration can be obtained for labour . Itis to this association , to its practical workings _, that we _Kust look for the redemption of labour , and in proportion as the trades rally round its _Btandard , so wil the / secure to themselves and their families , tho independence which belongs to them .

      _- _™ w l ? [ ook on a ? y- 'I will join their ranks , when I have seen how they pet on , 'but let Dim enter amongst us at once , and then shall we be able to stand against the _' attaeks , and beat down the opposition of our enemies . _„? i n o n , yby , T ----nd 8 teady combination , that we oan _suoceafully contend against the master class , and rescue honest labour from the trammels and bondage imposed upon it by the capitalist , _1- ellow workmen , it is in your own power , either to advance your own interests and happiness or to submit to oppression and wretchedness . In your hands it lies to secure to countless thousands their forfeited rights and _privileges . That power is combination , combination not in word , but deed—not in form , but in effect—combination upon a national principle , whereby the interests of our injured people , may be clearly and honestly represented—nnd tlieir power concentrated and directed to the over throw of tyranny , and tha onsummation ofthe rights of honest labour .

      Let us fear no opposition , or the tone of resistance deter you from your laudable purposes . Hold together , in one mind nnd heart for one purpose , and the cause of the working man must triumph ; let firmness of purpose and union of soul stimulate every man to renewed exertion , and depend upon it the time is not far distant when the National Asseciation of United Trades will have accomplished the achievement of rescuing the rewards of labour from the grasp ofthe oppressor . Rcoollect the . Star is with you , is one of you , and _struggles for you , through good and evil report , undaunted by thc prejudices and opposition of your enemies , and will continue to do bo , while there is the sacred cause of the working men to contend tor .

      Awake , then , frem your slumbers , and let it not be said that the United Trades had the power , but not the wi * . to show the advantages of labour over capital ;; butra'her _thatthe working man knows the strength of union , and how to use it , when his dearest privileges are in danger . The following reports have been received from tbe different agents ;—Mr Peel reported that on Tuesday and Wednesday last he attended at Bronvgroveand Kidderminster , at both of which places there was an unanimous vote of confidence passed in the Association and its Executive , and that the differences between the nail

      _ijodie-of Brnmsgrove had been satisfactorily adjusted . On Thursday , Mr Peel attended a most satisfactory meeting at Bridgenorth , ( for which purpose the mayor had kindly granted tue gratuitous use of the Town Hall ) . The meeting was most numerously attended , and consisted of many of the shopkeepers as well as the working classes . The lecturer explained the principles of the National Association , and showed , that it was the only way to elevate the working classes , not only physically , but socially and morally , and that it was therefore to tho interest , a ? well aa being the duty of the middle classes to assist them in any legal and moral effort to accomplish their object .

      The usual votes of thanks to the mayor , chairman , & c , closed the proceedings . On Friday , he attended the chain makers at Cradley , and on Saturday , at Dudley , where ho settled the dispute with the nail makers . On Monday , he attended at Hanley , but ceuld not deliver a lecture in consequence of Mr T . Clark being there with . the Chartist Land deed , and being previously announced for a lecture in the evening . Demit . —On Wednesday , October 6 th , Mr Humphries attended » public meeting held in tbe _Lancastrian School Room , Derby . Mr Batton , paper maker , was called to the chair , who commenced byreading the placard announcing the meeting , nnd after some very appropriate remarks , in whicii he

      showed the advantage of union , and the benefits that would accrue from the National Association , introduced Mr Humphries , who , at great length , descanted upon the princ iples and tendency of tbe National Association . Demonstrating its superiority over all previous established combinations , and that it was the only rational and practicable means of redeeming and elevating the working classes of this country . The speaker then drew attention to the Association for the Employment of Labour , and urged upon the meeting the necessity of forming themselves into societies for the consumption of the goods manufactured by the Association . A number of questions were asked and answered , and a vote of thanks to the speaker and chairman terminated the business of the meeting .

      Barnsley . Oct . 7 th . —Mr Humphries addressed a public meeting at Barnsley . Mr Sesrave was call d upon to preside , who , without any preparatory remark , introduced the speaker , who , on rising , said , there never was a greater necessity for the work _i ng classes to organise themselves into a consolidated union for the protection of their industry . The speaker then proceeded to show the practicability and highly beneficial tendency of the institution of self-employment , sueh ns the National Association for the Employment of Libour , and showed that it was the duty , . ib woll as the interest , of the working classes to support to the utmost this Association by

      becoming purchasers of their goods , At the close of the lecture thefollowing resolution was unanimously carried : — 'That for the consumption ofthe goods manufactured by the men employed by the National Association , this meeting pledges itself ta form a company of subscribers to contribute a weekly sum , the same to be appropriated in the purchase of the said goods , and thus assist in giving increased facilities to the Central Committee to carry out tho objects of the Association .

      and chairman . . Leed " , October 8 th . —Mr Humphries attended a meeting , at the Star nnd Garter , Leeds . On account of Friday night being an unfavourable one lor public meetings , the meeting at Leeds was but thinly attended . Nevertheless , those who did attend at the close of the address , evinced a spirit of earnestness and determination to carry out the objects of the Association . # _, We trust the Leeds frict-ds generally will take up the question urged by Mr Humphries , and neither be the least nor last in hastening the consummation of our plans and objects . It will be remembered that the tailors of Leeds have already invested £ 60 in tne Association for tbe Employment of Labour . This is a noble example to the trades , which we trust they will not be slow in fallowing .

      To The Editor Of The Northern Star. Sir,...

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —An appeal has been made a short time since in one of the weekly journals , by Mr Samuel Jacobs , who describes himself as ' a member and missionary' of the above Association , ' to the members , delegates , and local officers / for justice or redress for the injuries inflicted by the Central Committee . A _pressjjof other business has prevented me replying earlier to the statements of Mr Jacobs . I have now to request that you will give insertion to the

      following answer of the Central Committee to Mr Jacob ' s allegations . In placing the true facts of the case before the ' members , delegates , local officers , ' and the public , the committee feel that it is quite unnecessary to copy Mr Jacobs' example in the use of harsh language or violent vituperation _> andtheyare quite content to leave the public to judge , after an impartial consideration of these counter statements , on which side the justice ofthe case is to be found , and who are the parties to whose conduct the terms ' Vile shuffle , ' can be properly applied .

      Taking the statements of Mr Jacobs , it would appear that he had been induced by the Central Committee , without any wish on his part , to abandon a comfortable and independent position for the situation of agent to the Association ; the fact , however , is , that previous to his appointment to lhat situation , in August , 1846 , Mr Jacobs had sent several letters to the Central Committee , soliciting the appointment . He must have done so with his eyes open as to the relative value of the two positions , that which he occupied , and tbat which he sought , and should have been prepared on taking the latter , for all the continge » cies involved in such acceptance .

      Mr Jacobs complains that while he was effectively discharging his duties among the trades _« f Scotland , he received a letter in January , 1847 , informing bim that his wages would be reduced 2 s . a day , ' as Glasgow was his home ; ' and he would have thc arbiters , to whom he refers , believe that there was some injustice or hardship in this decision . What are the facts ? The rules allow 6 s . per day to each officer of the Associafion , engaged in the transaction of its _business , when these officers are al home , and 2 s . a day extra when so engaged at n distance from their usual residence . Mr Jacobs

      went to Scotland in August , 1846 . During the winter , his wife removed from Bristol to Glasgowthe expenses of which removal , amounting to upwards of £ o , were defrayed by the Central Committee ; and it was considered that Mr Jacobs and family being thus altogether resident in Glasgow , he came under the operation of the general law applying to other officers . This resolution as to salary , however , only applied when Mr Jacobs was employed in and about Glasgow . When he was engaged in other parts of Scotland tbe extra allowance of 2 s . per day was paid as usual , together with

      his coach fares . Whatever Mr Jacobs may call this . treatment , it is clearly tlie course which the Central Committee were imperatively called upon to pursue by the laws of the Association , nor will it appear to any impartial person that any hardship was inflicted on Mr Jacobs thereby ; wheu it is considered , in the first place , that the Central Committee paid the costs of removing Mrs Jacobs , and that in reality Glasgow was his home . The manner in which the duties of missionary were discharged could have no influence whatever on the decision of the Central Committee , who are bound to administer the laws of the Association as they exist .

      The principal ground of the appeal , however , is that Mr Jacobs considers he has been dismissed from the service of the Association without sufficient notice qr compensation . Again , we must meet this statement by facts . The first article of the constitution of the Association ( a constitution whicii Mr Jacobs in his capacity of delegate to the Conference of 1846 assisted in enacting ) provides that , ' The Association shall consist of those trades' unions and other organised bodies of the working classes that subscribe to its funds and conform to its rules . ' And by a subsequent rule it is provided that the Central Committee can appoint as agents only such parties as are bonafide members of a paying trade , belongin ' g to the Association .

      The trade represented by Mr Jacobs _d'd riot comply with the requirements of the first article ( never having paid any levies ) and therefore Mr Jacobs was disqualified according to the laws , from filling the situation of . an agent . The Central Committee were , however , induced by various representations , to believe that Mr Jacobs' trade would qualify itself acccording to the rule , and under , that impression appoiuted and retained Mr Jacobs in the situation of missionary . On the 23 rd of March , when all hope that it would do so had failed , the Central Committee felt it to be their duty to forward to Mr Jacobs the following resolution : —

      _Kesolved 'that Mr Jacobs , trade not being membtrs of the Association In conformity with rule , Mr Jacobs be informed that the Central Committee will not consider themselves justified , in continuing his _agency unless , his trade complies with the said rule within three weeks from this period . ' Mr Jacobs requested the Central Committee to reconsider their decision , the reply to which was , that it 8 a . v no reason for altering it , and requested that Mr Jacobs would immediately make out his claims upon the Association to the above-named period . While this correspondence was going on , however , the Central Committee received a tetter from Mr Hollis ot Edinburgh , the secretary for that district , requesting , on behalf of the trades of Edinburgh and its neighbourhood , that Mr Jacobs might be continued as a missionary until the meeting of

      the next Conference . To this request the Committee , after some hesitation _^ consented . _lu _« tue communication to Mr Jacobs , in which this determination was conveyed , it was distinctly intimated that the engagement was continued at the request of the trades ef Edinburgh , only until Conference ; and Mr Jacobs must , therefore , have been fully aware that his agency would cease at that time . Mr Jacobs had consequently from the 23 rd of March until the sitting of the Annual Conference in Whit week , to prepare for his withdrawal from the position of missionary ; -and the Central Committee cannot justly be accused of either harshness or haste in admini 8 terin <* the laws of the Association with reference to this case . That they were compelled by the laws , to ask for his resignation is self-evident ; tbat they went as far in mitigation of any inconvenienee that might thereby be occasioned to Mr Jacobs , as

      To The Editor Of The Northern Star. Sir,...

      they possibly could , is equally apparent , from Ue faets how stated . But Mr Jacobs , instead of making a proper use of the notice of his approaching dismissal , ' and securing , as he ought have done , a situation before its expiration , had recourse to intrigues , by which he hoped to evade the law « , and retain his position . Relying upon a technical and lawyer -like reading ot one of the rules of the Association , Mr Jacobs-a cabinet maker—joined another trade , wbich had complied with the rules—the coopers—paid some small sum to them , and trusted that he would thus be recognised as a bonafide member ofthe Association . Of course , the trick did not , and could not succeed . Mr Jacobs

      was duly dismissed from the service of the Association , after having had ample notice given to him , and he must have known that any alleged services after the breaking up of the last Conference , either at Manchester or elsewhere , were altogether unauthorised , and could not possibly be recognised by the Central Committee . Mr Jacobs attended , the Conference in his capacity of Central _Committeeman . Immediately upon the election of the Committee for the current year , his connection with tbe Association , either E 3 _oflaccr or agent , ceased , because he was not , as the laws require , a member of the Association within the meaning and intent of these laws , and could not , therefore , be re-appointed .

      Mr Jacobs went to Manchester from the Conference to please or suit himself ; the moment he informed the Comm'ttee that he bad been engaged in trades' business in that town , the Committee stated , that it was withont any authority from them , and they did not recognise him as an Agent of the Association . He went from Manchester to Glasgow , in like manner to suit himself , not bythe request of the Central Committee , and according to his own statement , because the state ofhis wife ' s health demanded bis presence . For what he lias done among the trades in that town since the Conference , _^ Commilteeare inii o wise responsible ; they are informed , however , that Mr Jacobs has been paid by at least some of the trades for his services .

      With respect to the claim to be employed at his i trade as a sacrificed member , it is clearly an untenable one ; the Association can only employ those who are bonafide members of trades , in legal connexion with tho Association . Mr Jacobs does not occupy _. this position , therefore he cannot be employed . No amount of declamation or abuse can alter the facts or the position of the Central Committee ; they are merely the acting trustees for the time being , for a number of trades who have committed to thera the execution of the laws they have mutually agreed to observe , and the administration of the funds they mutually subscribe .

      In such position the only guide of the Central Committee must he the laws of the Association ; not their individual feeling , or the feeling of aBy other individual , as to what is right or wrong . The Committee are not aware of having been actuated by any other motive in this case but that of an earnest desire , faithfully and justly to administer the laws and expend the funds of the _' Association . They will , so long as they are honoured with a seat at the board of direction , continue to pursue thc same course , confident that however it may be at times productive of individual cases of hardship , it is the only sound and permanent foundation for public confidence and support . 1 am , Sir , in behalf of the Central Committee , Your obedient servant , Thos . Barratt , Sec ,

      Appallij-G Triple Murder By A Suppose Ge...

      _APPALLIJ-G TRIPLE MURDER BY A SUPPOSE GENTLEMAN . Poor ' s _Cbit , _KeHT _. ' Friday . —Daring the day this hi . therto peaceful little village bas been thrown into a state of great consternation by the di _.-corery that during tbe night a murder had been perpetrated under circumstances far more more a _rooious than , although some * » hat similar , to that committed by the Quaker , Tawell _, iome years _Bince . The victims it tbis initance are , John andEllen Lawson , two children under six years of age , and their mother ,, Ellen , about thirty years of age . The

      unfortunate woman who has been thus wutally murdered , has , for the last year past , lived in a small but genteel cottage , about halt a mile beyond this village , on the road : to St . Mary ' s Cray , and has hitherto passed f < v a widow . She was visited by a gentleman , whom sbe stated to be a favourite brother , and the only relative with whom she was on friendly terms in consequence of her marriage having been in opposition to tbe wishes of the other members other family . Suspicion was , however , created that such was not altogether true , fr » m _theeecresy with which the visits ofthe gentleman in question were paid ; aad the discovery ofthis horrible tragedy has proved beyond doubt that the poor creature was the mistress of the person nllu < led to _.

      Tke facts immediately couucctcd with this terrible . fftiir , and which may be relied upon aa substantially correct ( although briefly stated ) , are these : —Yesterday afternoon , the supposed brother paid a visit to the decased , and , as was her practice on such _occasions , ibe sent her servant girl home for the night to he r mother ' s . Between five and six this morning , as Sergeant Newell _,, of tbe local police , was on duty near the cottage of the deceased woman , he saw a man in a dark smock frock coming frem that direction , and as he passed the sergeant he turned his face away , as if aot wishing to be seen . This induced Newell lo turn his light on , and -zarainehim as he passed . The result was that he taw the other parts of his dress did not correspond with the smock frock ; but there being nothing ;

      else suspicious about him , the sergeant proceeded oa uls beat and took ne further BOtlce of bim . When he arrived in front of the cottage bis attention was _arreted bythe appearance of an unusual glare Of light in the parlour , which showed through tha crevices ia the shutters . Upon going up tbe front garden to the streetdoor he discovered , by the smoke which was issuing through the keyhole , that the place was en fire . He instantly gave the alarm , wbich attracted the attention of two farm labourers whe were proceeding to work _. Not being able to arouse tbe inmates , the _esrgeant broke open the parlour-shatters , and having forced up the window gained admittance . On their entering they f jund the hall in a considerable state of confusion , every _, tbiog being strewed about , and in the door-way

      to the passage by a heap of women ' s clothes , partly eonsumsd , and two chairs thrown over them , both of which had begun to Ignite . Ths muslin window curtains were also in flames and _nearty consumed , Having torn these doin they at once extinguished them by rolling the carpet ov . r ihem , and also the Are that was in the doorway . This done they proceeded in search of the inmates , and in proc _seding along the passage the sergeant stumbled over tbe body of a female in her night clothes . She was to a' I appearance dead , but being warm the sergeant sent one of tbe men to tbe house of Mr Wilson Harris , surgeon , for assistance . Having placed tbe body on the parlour sofa he went up stairs into the bed-room _trhere the overturn ! d chairs and bed clothes on the floor indicated that a severe struggle had taken place . Passing from thence iato a little room at the back be was horror-stricken on

      beholding two children—the boy on the floor , and the girl on the bed—quite dead , and having the appearance oftheir death being the result of fits , their faces being much distorted , and froth issuing from their mouths and noseB . By this time Mr Hern ' s had arrlred , and , harlng seen the poor noman , gave his opinion that she had been dead some hours , and from bruised marks round her throat felt convinced ber death hadbeeh cauBed by strtngulation , and that she bad _nfterwards been thrown down the stairs . The children he pronounced to have been killed since their mother , and their deaths to have been caused by putting _prdsaio acid down tbeir throats whilst asleep . Further _eiamination of the premises at once showed that after the appalling deed had been committed , tbe assassin had set fire to tbe place , thinking thereby to obliterate all traceB ofhis guilt .

      Tho placo having been left In the hands of the police , Sergeant Newell , accompanied by two constables , at once started on the road to Maidstone , fiom which town , a number of letters found in deceased ' s desk were posted , and also the road taken by thc man alluded to , who passed tho Bergeant a few _mlnuteB before the discovery of the horrid deed . nAiPPABT Threb , r . u . —One of the oonstables who accompanied thestrgeanthas just returned , and states that a gcntlemanl y . iooklag man has been taken into custody on suspicion . He was arrested iu _abeer-shopia

      _swailey , a few miles from here . He arrived there much fatigued and excited , a short time previously to . his apprehension ; bis boots and trousers indicated that he bad walked some distance , while his coat seemed as though a smock-frock had been worn over it , and there i * but little doubt he is the party whom the sergeant passed in tho morning , Wben told on what grounds he was taken into custody ho trembled , and denied all knowledge of the transaction , adding that his name was James Rice , ana that be was a hop-grower of independent fortune , living nt _EmI Parleleh .
